Some great dancing on the stage of Garibaldi Theatre of Modica… I had a pleasure to photograph these wonderful dancers thanks to the kindness of Doctor Giorgio Cannata (the Head) and the collaboration of the Artistic Director Giovanni Cultrera. It’s important to note that the Direction of the Theatre has done an excellent work in the ultimate years offering always a very high level of the shows, the music, scenografie and of the art in general.

The National University of the Arts (K-Arts), founded in the 1993 by the South Corea government nourishes and grows some outstanding talents among professional dancers, providing an education of the highest quality to young professionals in the field of ballet. Lately, this school enlarged its programs full of classical Russia repertoire with some innovational modern dance techniques. In collaboration with the Dance Company, the school has been realising the idea of inserting the best students into the best theatres and companies of then world. There were present seventeen dancers on stage of the Garibaldi Theatre, among them there were some winners of important contest, very talented young ballerinas. These young rising stars performed in there choreography by Sunhee Kim who came back to Modica after having already been here as a juror of a local dance contest.

The shooting was made with the latest creation of Canon, the D850. What could be a better chance to test it and try in the work field. Her silent mode helped a lot to not disturb the audience. Plus, its ability to shoot without any “noise” even in very bad light conditions at ISO 1000 and, thanks to its powerful “firing” with 9 shots per second gives an opportunity to always choose the right moment.

It’s difficult to explain the emotions of a photographer and it’s even more difficult to find the right words for the feeling of the passion for photography is united with the love of dance. Every dance performance, from the most important and serious spectacle to a small ballet school annual show of little amateur ballerinas bring us to the world of pure magic and of the everlasting unique emotions. The photos made in such occasions are always the moments of the moving art caught still.
